So what do you like to do for Christmas?
That's right.
Laurie said you really like the holidays.
Favorite time of the year.
Don't you ever, you know, sometimes
feel like Christmas is kind of, like, been there, done that?
What?
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I mean, I'm sure it's fine for kids
and for families, I suppose, but you kind of get
to a point in your life where you got to ask yourself,
how many more times can I listen to "Silver Bells?"
I love that song.
Then call me a cynic.
You're a cynic.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hayley's here.
Cool.
Hey, I'm kind of tired.
Do you mind running up front and showing
her where we're sitting?
Since you're so tired, maybe we should just go home?
She's wearing a black dress and a white jacket.
Can't miss her.
I know what you're doing.
Great.
I'll stay here and guard our drinks.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So do you have a favorite flower?
I'm at a blank.
Flowers weren't really a thing in my house growing up,
you know?
Got it.
Different taste.
Mm-hmm.
Here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Just follow me.
We're just over here at this table.
OK.
Yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Eric.
Phoebe.
Hey.
Hi.
Wow.
This is-- we keep doing this.
No kidding.
Oh, Phoebe, this is Hayley.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, and this is Greg.
How's it going?
Good.
Yeah.
You're here for the party?
I'm an investor.
You, too?
No.
My friend is, though.
And Haley is too.
Small world.
[LAUGHS] We should go find Adam.
Right.
Yeah.
It's really good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
Enjoy your evening.
You too.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ADAM: Hey!
Adam, hi!
How's it going?
Are you two--
is there something that I should know?
What?
No.
No, he just-- he bought a poinsettia from my shop
for Christmas.
So just a customer.
Yeah.
Looks that way.
What about next weekend?
Um--
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I think we are just about done.
Do you think you could stick these into the mail tomorrow?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry. Yeah.
Sure.
You are a million miles away.
It's just-- you know, it's the first Christmas
since Leslie and I broke up.
I'm trying.
I'm trying to get into the spirit.
I am.
I just-- I'm--
I'm having trouble.
Mm.
So how was that party last night?
It was OK, I guess.
It was loud.
So how was the young lady?
Hayley?
She was-- she was nice.
We didn't have a lot in common, though.
Adam, he meant well.
I just-- she's-- she's not my type.
Mm.
You know, I think your friend, Phoebe, is very sweet.
Yeah.
That doesn't sound overly enthusiastic.
I just--
I don't think she's as interested in me
as I am in her.
That's sort of hard to judge.
I saw her last night at the party.
Did you?
She was with another guy.
[LAUGHS] From her perspective, weren't you
there with another woman?
Yeah.
I-- I guess it could have looked like that.
